Is it true that raw milk is healthier than pasteurized milk?
Unclear. The retrieved items address specific safety and contamination aspects of raw versus pasteurized milk, such as aflatoxin, antibiotic residues, and allergic reactions, and several suggest raw milk carries more hazards. None directly compares the overall healthfulness of raw and pasteurized milk, so the evidence only partially bears on the claim.
